Abstract
El estado nutricional es el resultado de la interacción entre una buena alimentación y los aportes nutritivos que estos contienen, permitiendo compensar las demandas que un organismo necesita para su correcto funcionamiento. El presente artículo determina la influencia del estado nutricional en el rendimiento escolar de los estudiantes de la Unidad Educativa Básica durante el primer quimestre del 2019. Se aplicó la metodología con enfoque cuantitativo, diseño descriptivo de corte transversal y correlacional, donde se obtuvo información mediante la observación, aplicación del instrumento y valoración antropométrica a los escolares. La muestra seleccionada estuvo representada por 166 estudiantes de los cuales se determinó los que se encuentran bajo peso, normo peso, sobrepeso y obesos. La etapa preescolar obtuvo un promedio aceptable que, según la escala de la Ley Orgánica de Educación Intercultural, si alcanzan entre los más relevantes se encontraban los estudiantes con bajo peso con un nivel cognitivo de 7,2 inferior al resto de los estudiantes. En cuanto a la etapa escolar los estudiantes, que según su estado nutricional se encuentran con obesidad fueron aquellos que presentaron un nivel cognitivo inferior de 6,9 que evaluado por la LOEI estaban próximos a alcanzar los aprendizajes requeridos. Con estos resultados se determinó que el estado nutricional no tiene una influencia estadísticamente significativa en el rendimiento escolar de los estudiantes de la Unidad Educativa La Libertad.
The nutritional status is the result of the interaction between a good diet and the nutritional contributions that they contain, allowing to compensate the demands that an organism needs for its correct functioning. This article determines the influence of the nutritional status on the school performance of the students of the Basic Educational Unit during the first half of 2019. The methodology was applied with a quantitative approach, descriptive cross-sectional and correlational design, where information was obtained through the observation, application of the instrument and anthropometric assessment to schoolchildren. The selected sample was represented by 166 students, of which those who were underweight, normal weight, overweight and obese were determined. The pre-school stage obtained an acceptable average that according to the scale of the Organic Law of Intercultural Education, if they reach among the most relevant were the underweight students with a cognitive level of 7.2 lower than the rest of the students. Regarding the school stage, the students who, according to their nutritional status, are obese were those who presented a lower cognitive level of 6.9, which, evaluated by the LOEI, were close to achieving the required learning. With these results it was determined that the nutritional status does not have a statistically significant influence on the school performance of the students of the La Libertad Educational Unit.
